SalSon Logistics

Upper management has a different approach. While unconventional at times, it's not much different than other carriers I have worked for.

The owner is a CDL A driver who does the first delivery with each new customer so that he can understand challenges his drivers may face. He is never too good to put himself to the level of his employees to better understand their function and needs.

Office staff pay is higher than other companies in the area but it's a difficult environment to grow accustomed to. For those who go to work every day and do as they are asked/told; it's a wonderful place to work. For those who are headstrong and feel they are the boss, they're unlikely to succeed as upper management will put an end to it and the employee will likely leave telling their version of how they were wrongfully terminated.

I've known several employees/former co-workers who went back to work at Salson because they learned the grass was not greener on the other side. The fact they go back is a statement in it's own that Salson cannot be a bad employer. Salson taking those employees back also says a great deal about upper management in my opinion. They believe in second chances. Not many other companies do.

The CFO while difficult to get to know, is one of the most intelligent and pure hearted individuals I have met in my life, in a corporate role. She always strives to do the right thing as she believes what you put out comes back to you. I was blessed to have become close to her, though it didn't begin that way when I was hired. Actions speak louder than words and she notices everything. 

The HR Manager at headquarters is different from any HR Manager I have known with any company both in and out of logistics. I went through a lot of personal issues while employed there and there were days I made it through because of her positive attitude and friendly advice. She was a true lifesaver.

Nothing is perfect, but of the four carriers I have worked for in my career, Salson is the only one I would advocate as a great place to work.

At Salson, I would run wanted ads for truck drivers. I would interview, and screen, potential truck driving candidates and set up the best candidates for road tests, drug tests, and background checks. The entire time, my supervisor would double check my work to make sure the driver is within the appropriate amount of points and accidents. I kept an excel database of driver applicants, their qualifications, and which advertisements got the highest amount of hits. One of the best parts of Salson Logistics was the team I worked with. The HR department, Recruitment department, and Safety department met daily to rehash goals and to communicate to me my job description and functions. The HR coordinator, Recruitment manager, and safety manager are always on the same page because the owner of the company places specific systems in place to guarantee success of the company. I loved working here. Also, I liked that I was rewarded and personally recognized for doing a good job. Great company!!!

P.S. when you do a good job, the owner makes you feel like you are an ESSENTIAL part of the company. It's like your part of his family. I wouldn't trade that feeling for anything...

I worked for Salson for 10 years. Very high paced atmosphere which I loved. You don’t become one of the leading trucking companies on the east coast by moving at a snails pace. You work hard and are dedicated to your position you will be rewarded. I don’t think I ever worked for anyone who invested so much into me personally and was given every tool possible for me to become sucessful. If you think about it why wouldn’t a company want to make sure every employee has all the tools needed to succeed? At Salson that is exactly what they do. I was a dispatcher and yard manager and in both position I was given all I needed to succeed and a salary that allowed me to be a great family man. On top of this you have job security. AJB Anthony Berritto has taken this company from a small warehouse with a couple of trucks on the road to terminals up and down the northeast and thousands of trucks on the road in a short period of time. From watching what other companies were doing and learning from their mistakes to having all the major companies watching what Salson will be doing next. I no longer work for Salson due to my own doing but I can’t say enough about Anthony and Salson for what they have done for me and my family.

- a typical day is making on time deliveries. I have learned you have to be on top of your "game". Meaning, know what needs to be done and when to do it.
As stated previously company still trying to grow so management is trying keep up with a fast paced life.
Co-workers are generally ok if you have the time to catch up with them.
The hardest part of the job is waiting for the job assignment.
The most enjoyable part of the job is when you get a chance to go home and relax after being away from home for a period of time.

The worse office I've ever worked for professionally. Zero work flexibility, 30min lunch which is nothing since you have to park outside the lot and waste 10min getting to your car 1 way, no coffee or water cooler for employees provided by company (you have to pay for it in lunch room and it's gone after 3pm). 

Management does not provide direction and the tech is super outdated and low end. I'm talking 2014 Hp desktops with an I3 processor so get used to constantly refreshing work.  

What is the best part of working at the company?
You will unload and load truck's everyday nothing ever changes 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The warehouse is disgusting, from the front door all the way to the bathrooms 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Mainly foreigners working there, I think they have a contract with a few temp agencies 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very intense nonstop work everyday, if you don't like fast pace work environments this job is not for you.

It's a family business, so from the father down to the sons. Treats and talks to like your garbage. They threaten you with violence and ready to fire you for anything. They have a contract with the state which allows them to have guys from the halfway house.  So basically they treat everyone  like you're in prison. Your pay is low for the work they require and there is always a discrepancy with check.  They lock all their doors so there's only one way in one way out.

This place is a terrible place to work at. If you are a driver stay far away from this place. They play favoritism with the drivers. I wouldn't be surprised if this company doesn't shut down with in a year. The owner is a terrible person who is more of a mob boss than a leader of a company and the terminal manager is so scared to say anything back to him. There is no room to grow this is a dead end job. The trucks breakdown constantly. They literally left a driver in Florida for 3 days because it wasn't cost efficient to go get the driver. Trust me go work for swift or anybody else.
